For The Record

Immigration Debate

Original Air Date: 4/11/2006

The U.S. Congress is trying to pass an immigration reform bill. But a compromise bill has been delayed in the U.S. Senate. Leaders from both parties believed an agreement had been reached on the bill that would divide illegal immigrants into three categories. The categories would determine the process for the undocumented immigrants to become U.S. citizens. Now any work on the bill is not expected until after the Easter recess.
